Logical Laws

Famous quotes containing the words logical and/or laws:

“The truth is, that common-sense, or thought as it first emerges above the level of the narrowly practical, is deeply imbued with that bad logical quality to which the epithet metaphysical is commonly applied; and nothing can clear it up but a severe course of logic.”
—Charles Sanders Peirce (1839–1914)

“Although philosophers generally believe in laws and deny causes, explanatory practice in physics is just the reverse.”
